hmmmm...i have artex ceilings too.

plastering is obviously the easiest solution but it costs a bit.

i reckon this would be ok if you took your time to get a good smooth finish.

rushing it like in the ad would end up making it look shit i reckon.

still, worth a try i suppose.

We used some of this on a wall in our house.

Went hardly anywhere and ended up just geting someone in to do the job.

would never use that in my life hahaha

very amature lol and for the price there's cheaper ways to sort it out the way i done it in our house was scraped the peaks and bumps ect off the ceiling and gave it tow flush's with easi fill (comes in 10kg bags) rough cost £10+vat then a sand down and a skim over with ames then a sand down again and bish bash bosh ready to paint.

but bearing in mind that you don't do it for a living it could be very hard to get it the way you'd like so would recommend the to get someone in?
